[dba-Tech] Antivirus Software - Who do we like, who do we not like?

I use NAV2004. No problems. If 2005's a bummer can't you get 2004 on ebay?
We had the same issue with 2000 no longer being supported so I guess 2004
has got about a 5-year life by which time a better version than 2005 will
hopefully be around.
